Pierre Poilievre and Erin O'Toole are both going to run for the Conservative leadership, CTV News has learned.
Poilievre has been a member of Parliament in Ontario since 2004 and is currently the Conservative Party's finance critic. O’Toole, who and already has one failed leadership bid under his belt from 2017, has been elected since 2012.
"It's too early to say what's going to happen. There will be lots of people who will put their names forward. What I do know is that we need someone who will stand up, fight back, and win," he said at the time, while pounding his fist on the podium. John Baird, who has previously served in multiple high-profile roles as a member of Stephen Harper's cabinet, will run Poilievre's campaign.
As for who else might run for the leadership, multiple names have emerged as politicians and pundits carve out the names of the people they hope to see run – including Rona Ambrose and Peter MacKay.
